- 6 hot cross buns (large and containing currants, dried citrus peel, etc)
- 6 tablespoons butter, soft
- 3 tablespoons apricot jam
- 2 cups evaporated milk
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, to taste (use less (or more)
- 12 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 3 eggs, largest size
- Heat oven to 325 deg F/160 deg Celsius.
- Grease a suitable oven dish.
- Slice the hot cross buns into thick slices, and lightly butter one side of each slice, and also top each buttered half with a little apricot jam.
- Use more jam if the amount given isn't enough.
- I didn't measure what I used.
- Arrange the slices in overlapping style, to fit into your greased dish.
- In a bowl, put the rest of the ingredients: evaporated milk, sugar, vanilla, spices and eggs.
- Whisk well together.
- Pour this custard evenly over the bun slices.
- Leave the pudding for 5 - 10 minutes or so, for the bun slices to absorb most of the liquid.
- Bake about 40 - 45 minutes, or until the custard has set and the pudding is baked through.
- Serve with Greek-style yoghurt.
